From these candidates two teams were selected to represent our school. In dual meets the Augie Harriers de- feated McKee, Curtis, and Port Richmond. Excelling in meets were John Sing- ler, Kenneth Connolly, John Young, George Kochman, and John Fonss. The season terminated with the Staten Island High School Boro Championship in which the varsity placed second and the freshmen first in their respective events. John Singler spearheaded the varsity, finishing first, while setting a new Island record of 14:14 for the two and one half mile Clove Lake course.Al- so setting a new Island record was John Fonss, who captured first place in the Frosh run. The coming of cold weather heralded the indoor season. Soon all of the boys who had run Cross-Country were training to run on the boards and ready to prove their mettle. ln many meets in the city, the -boys showed talent. John Young and Kenneth Connolly were the most successful, establishing new school records of Z:3Z.9 in the 1,000 yards and 5:08 in the mile respectively. The team also competed in many dual and triangular meets with such track powers as Bishop Loughlin, St. Peter's, Manhatten Prep, and St. Michael's. With the arrival of spring all were eager for the outdoors. During the first weeks of spring, attiredin sweat suits, the team began to get used to the cinder paths. Already scheduled are meets with Curtis, Port Richmond, and McKee. The team will participate in the Brooklyn Automotive meet, the Iona College relays, and the world famous Penn Relays at Franklin Field in Phila. Based on its past performances the track squad should continue on its winning ways. 34
